エンジェルス、好調マリナーズに2-1で敗れる：ミッチ・ガーバーの本塁打で7連勝

The Angels offense struggled mightily against the red-hot Seattle Mariners, resulting in a 2 to1 defeat on Friday night. This loss marked the Mariners seventh consecutive victory, keeping them tied with the Houston Astros at the top of the AL West for the second night in a row, the battle of the bullpens. In a tightly contested game, the spotlight was on the relievers. Mitch Garver, the Mariners’s hero, delivered a solo home run in the seventh inning, turning on an elevated fast from Connor Brogden. Garver’s ninth homer of the season gave Seattle the lead, and their bullpen ensured it stayed that way. But here’s where it gets controversial. The Angels offense, which had been held scoreless until the seventh, could have had a different fate. In the sixth inning, a key moment occurred when rightfielder Victor Robles made an incredible catch, robbing Taylor Ward of a potential double that could have scored two runs. This play shifted the momentum and kept the Angels off the board until the seventh. The power of Palano. Jorge Palano, the Mariners switch hitter, showcased his prowess at the plate. With a two out, two strike RBI double in the fourth inning. He drove in Cal Raleigh who had doubled earlier. Palano’s performance was even more impressive when considering his recent streak. He’s recorded a double in five consecutive games, tying for the longest active streak in the majors this season. It’s a feat not seen in Seattle since Raul Ibana’s streak in 2004. And this is the part most people miss. Palano’s ability to keep his hands inside and crank the ball to left field is a testament to his skill and focus at the plate. Looking ahead as the series continues, the Angels will send left-hander Mitch Ferris 102.45 RA to the mound against Mariners right-hander Brian Woo 137 3.02. With the Mariners on a roll, can the Angels find a way to break their winning streak? Will Palano’s hot streak continue, or will the Angels offense find its groove?

The Los Angeles Angels struggled at the plate as the Seattle Mariners extended their winning streak to seven games with a 2-1 victory. Mitch Garver’s go-ahead solo home run in the 7th inning proved decisive, while Jorge Polanco’s RBI double and Victor Robles’ game-saving catch highlighted Seattle’s dominance.
